This is not possible now :( We probably will change it in 5.2. For now,
you can make the following "fix" in lbaselib.c:

 static int luaB_corunning (lua_State *L) {
-  if (lua_pushthread(L))
-    lua_pushnil(L);  /* main thread is not a coroutine */
+  lua_pushthread(L);
   return 1;
 }

(Then coroutine.running will return the main thread.)
